Wisdom Songtext
von John Gorka

Wisdom exists though it's not commonly found
it's got the lonesomest howl of any dog in the pound
wisdom persists,
wisdom swings free
what once worked for you, will not work for me
Wisdom will stick, it's a permanent bond
it tends to resist all the scum in the pond
wisdom will stay,
wisdom hangs on
it's not like the news which is already gone
Wisdom resides between salt and sky
i'm too mean to quit or too dumb to try
it might come soon.
it sure comes slow
it's not all the facts, just what you need to know
wisdom says so
Wisdom will fit, it won't use much space
against all odds with no chemical trace


wisdom hangs on, it knew your face when you were young
wisdom arrives like a crude afterthought
it's modern value played down, because it cannot be bought
wisdom will stick, adhere to your leg
it comes after the chicken, it's shaped like an egg
Wisdom's still free, but it doesn't come cheap
it's found in your dreams not on the nights you don't sleep
wisdom persists, it has an elegant glow
it mostly consists of what you know you don't know
Wisdom hangs on, saves wear on your lip
it won't go to waste, it shoots from the hip
wisdom will cry, it will follow a storm
make your ice cream cone hard and you coffee urn warm
Wisdom exists, though it's not commonly found
it's got the lonesomest howl of any dog in the pound
wisdom resides between salt and sky
i'm too mean to quit or too dumb to try
Wisdom and i
